Streaming Summer Afternoon ...
“Summer
afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most
beautiful words in the English language.”
~ Henry James
~ 1843-1916
The
poetic beauty of an afternoon in summer, my most favorite of seasons, streams
through an August day in Henry’s Woods at Jacobsburg State Park, which spans
between Wind Gap and Nazareth, Pennsylvania.
Jacobsburg
offers environmental education programs from the preschool environmental
awareness programs to high school level environmental problem solving programs,
historical programs, teacher workshops and public interpretive programs.
Once
the site where the famous Henry Rifle was made, the Jacobsburg National
Historic District lies almost entirely within the park. Henry’s Woods offers
very scenic hikes and the rest of the center grounds have multi-use trails.
The
park surrounds the Bushkill Creek.
The
original land for the center was purchased by the Department of Forests and
Waters from the City of Easton in 1959. In 1969, additional land was purchased
using funds from Project 70. This brought the total land area of the center to
its present size of 1,168 acres.
